Trailhead #810 Lower Lena Lake Traditional Cache
Trailhead #810 Lower Lena Lake
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This is number 3 in my series of trail head caches
Lower Lena Lake is a fun hike for the entire family. Bring the kids along and put the babies in a backpack or a jogging stroller for a 6 mile round trip stroll. You could also drive on paved Hamma Hamma road to the trail head and grab the cache without doing any hiking, it's up to you.
TRAIL INFORMATION: The trail to Lena Lake
is well maintained and is a moderate grade with
long switchbacks. Please stay on the trail.
Cutting switchbacks will save only seconds, while
the destroyed vegetation (such as when the forest service sells the trees) will take centuries to
recover. This is a National Recreation Trail and is
heavily used during the summer months. Beyond
Lower Lena Lake, the trails are much steeper and
receive less maintenance.
OPPORTUNITIES: Camping, fishing, family day
hike, bird and wildlife watching. Upper Lena
Lake is in the Olympic National Park.
- Be sure to fill out a backcountry permit for
overnight trips (available along the trail at the
Park boundary.)
- Firearms and pets are prohibited in the Park.
Stoves only, no fires above 3,500’ elevation.
CLOSURES: Motorized vehicles and stock are
prohibited.
TOPO MAPS: The Brothers Ð Mt. Anderson
Custom Correct Map or The Brothers USGS Quad.
CAMPGROUND: There are 28 rustic campsites
with metal fire rings around the lake.
F.S. Road #25
PASS REQUIRED: A NW Forest Pass or a
Golden Passport (Eagle, Age or Access) is
required on each vehicle parked at trailhead.
